Can one split (or import an other xml to) share-config-custom.xml ?

sunquanbin

Hi all,

I have made many customisation in Share so the share-config-custom.xml is quite large now.

Just wandering is it possible to split this share-config-custom.xml into several smaller xml files. e.g.

share-config-custom.xml, plus
additional_1.xml, additional_2.xm. etc.

Is there a naming convention for those additional xml files or they can be imported into share-config-custom.xml via something like "/<import>"?

Thanks,

Sun

Yes you can ,you have several options :
1.cut part content of share-config-custom.xml to share-config-custom-dev.xml,share-config-custom-dev.xml is in the same location with share-config-custom.xml.
2.create several file named share-config-custom.xml,and split settings in these files ,and package each file in a jar under /META-INF/share-config-custom.xml,and place these jars under shared lib.

Many thanks for the reply.

But I am not very clear with your second step. I am using maven sdk for development. All the changes to share is taken place in an AMP project. The share-config-custom.xml is defaultly located at: /src/main/amp/config/alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml.

Would you please be more specific how I can split share-config-custom.xml?

I have split my share-config-custom up into a file for each content model.
So at the moment I have around 6.

Naming wise I have used
web-extension/companyname-modelname-share-config-custom.xml
web-extension/companyname-modelname-custom-slingshot-context.xml

following code is Share custom config search path,you have many options to choose as you wish

            <value>classpath:alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom.xml</value>
            <value>jar:*!/META-INF/share-config-custom.xml</value>
            <value>classpath:alfresco/web-extension/share-config-custom-dev.xml</value>
            <value>jar:*!/META-INF/share-config-custom-dev.xml</value>

Many thanks for the replies, but I cannot get things work as I might not fully understand your guys' answers..(Am I too dumb?)

I will try to describe my problem more clearly.

Say my current share-config-custom.xml has define the following to custom forms:


   <config evaluator="model-type" condition="my:type1">
      <forms>
         <!– Create form –>
         <form>
                           …
         </form>
      </forms>
   </config>

       <config evaluator="model-type" condition="my:type2">
      <forms>
         <!– Create form –>
         <form>
                           …
         </form>
      </forms>
   </config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Now I want to move the definition of "my:type2" into another .xml file, say "share-config-custom_1.xml".
The files are look like:

In "share-config-custom.xml", it has:

   <config evaluator="model-type" condition="my:type1">
      <forms>
         <!– Create form –>
         <form>
                           …
         </form>
      </forms>
   </config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

In "share-config-custom_1.xml", it has:


       <config evaluator="model-type" condition="my:type2">
      <forms>
         <!– Create form –>
         <form>
                           …
         </form>
      </forms>
   </config>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

However, the form in this additional file is not loaded when I create "my:type2" in share. So I can solve this?

I found the solution:
in alfresco/web-extension create a xml file "custom-slingshot-application-context.xml" as:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC '-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN' 'http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd'>
<beans>
 <bean id="customConfig" class="com.mypackage.CustomConfigBootstrap" 
         init-method="register">
      <property name="configService" ref="web.config" />
      <property name="configs">
         <list>
            <value>classpath:alfresco/model-form.xml</value>
         </list>
      </property>
   </bean>
</beans>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Create a file "model-form.xml" in the same folder (you can create an arbitrary number of xml, you must remember to add it to the list of previous values of the bean)

Create the java class CustomConfigBootstrap.java:
<java>package com.mypackage;

/**
* The Class CustomConfigBootstrap.
*/
public class CustomConfigBootstrap
implements BeanNameAware, ConfigDeployer
{

/** The Constant logger. */
private static final Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(CustomConfigBootstrap.class);

private String beanName;

/** The config service. */
protected ConfigService configService;

/** The configs. */

    this.beanName = name;
}

{
    this.configs = configs;
}

/**
   * Sets the config service.
   *
   * @param configService the new config service
   */
public void setConfigService(ConfigService configService)
{
    this.configService = configService;
}

/* (non-Javadoc)

public List<ConfigDeployment> initConfig()

    List<ConfigDeployment> deployed = null;
    if ((this.configService != null) && (this.configs != null) && (!this.configs.isEmpty()))
    {
      List<String> configsToAdd = processWildcards(this.configs);
      if ((configsToAdd != null) && (!configsToAdd.isEmpty()))
      {
        UrlConfigSource configSource = new UrlConfigSource(configsToAdd,true);
        deployed = this.configService.appendConfig(configSource);
      }
    }
    return deployed;
}

/**
   * Process wildcards.
   *
   * @param configs the configs
   * @return the list
   */
private List<String> processWildcards(List<String> configs)
{
    List<String> ret = new ArrayList<String>();
    for (String config : configs) {
      ret.addAll(processWidlCards(config));
    }
    return ret;
}

/**
   * Process widl cards.
   *
   * @param sourceString the source string
   * @return the list
   */
private List<String> processWidlCards(String sourceString)
{
    String separator = System.getProperty("file.separator");

    List<String> ret = new ArrayList<String>();
    if ((sourceString != null) && (sourceString.startsWith("file:")) && (sourceString.indexOf("*") != -1) && (sourceString.indexOf(separator) != -1))
    {
      logger.debug("processWildCards: " + sourceString);
      File dir = new File(sourceString.substring(5, sourceString.lastIndexOf(separator)));
      if ((dir != null) && (dir.exists()))
      {
        FileFilter fileFilter = new WildcardFileFilter(sourceString.substring(sourceString.lastIndexOf(separator) + 1));
        File[] files = dir.listFiles(fileFilter);
        if (files != null) {
          for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++)
          {
            logger.debug("Add config file : file:" + files.getAbsolutePath());
            ret.add("file:" + files.getAbsolutePath());
          }
        }
      }
    }
    else
    {
      logger.debug("Add config file : " + sourceString);
      ret.add(sourceString);
    }
    return ret;
}

/* (non-Javadoc)
